A training course for examiners of mandarin testing
at the regional level opened on May 27. The course, third of its
kind, will train specialists in conducting mandarin tests for all
industries throughout Tibet.
In April 2005, the Tibet Regional State Language
Affairs Commission was established with the approval of the Tibet Regional
Government. By now, six prefectures have set up such commissions.
A mandarin training and testing network has been set
up in Tibet, with one regional mandarin training and testing center, five
stations at colleges and seven ones at the prefectural level.
As for education for specialists, Tibet
has trained 100 mandarin examiners at the national and regional levels.
After four years of hard work, 23,000 teachers, college students and civil
servants have attended mandarin training and testing courses and obtained
certificates for the mandarin proficiency test.
